Go Cardozo!

I'm watching this, btw El Diablo Rojo, what do you think about him? I've heard lots of opinions, but i would like to know from someone who actually follow the championship he played at.

Same about Gonzalo Bergessio, please

Thanks

 

[El Diablo Rojo]

He was the top scorer this past season in Argentina, scoring 21 goals for Newell's, they were very dependant of him at Newell's, to give you an idea even though he was the top scorer Newell's finished 19th in the season table, he quickly made people who wasn't seein him with good eyes for being a "no one" scoring all kind of goals, from free kicks, long or short distance shots and even headers, more than once it looked like he played alone, along with Villar the keeper of Paraguay who also plays at Newell's by the way, and quickly he became feared by all the defenders. He'd be a starting on any club, in fact some big clubs of Argentina wanted him but none offered enough money.

Gonzalo Bergessio is a promising player who didn't take long to get used to the jump of playing at third division then being transfered to a first division club, skilled and dangerous in attack, i can't tell if he's either an attacking midfielder or a forward, in my opinion he needs to score some goals to calm down a bit because he always seems to be looking for his goal, but he still assists the other players. More likely he was one of the best if not actually the best player of Racing the last season.

1-2

Cardozo
Yepes, Perea

 

[Dante_1901]

Go Colombia

 

[MaSsiVe]

I noticed her too, hot bitch

 

[Hendrik]

Santa Crap better performs in these matches so there's a remote chance that he attracts interest from some Spansh midtable clubs.

 

[MaSsiVe]

oh man, Colombia's keeper is one scary mofo

 

[El Diablo Rojo]

Doesn't Calero use a red cap anymore?

So far Colombia looks asleep and is losing the ball easily. Paraguay has the possesion but doesn't seem be in a hurry to score while Colombia's defense looks a bit shaky, yet they have had some chances.

 

[MaSsiVe]

what a retarded penalty to give away.

and what a retarded way to miss it! :funny:

 

[El Diablo Rojo]

Villar saves the penalty it is still 0-0. Let's see if Villar can finally prove for once that he's the best southamerican keeper.

 

[MaSsiVe]

1-0 Paraguay!

Santa Crap scores, Hendrik

 

[El Diablo Rojo]

Very well right after Paraguay scores, goal by Roque Santa Cruz, Paraguay leads 1-0.

 

[Dante_1901]

"Goles que no haces, goles que te hacen" ... I don't know how to say this in english, but it fits exactly for this one.

 

[MaSsiVe]

"if you don't score, you get scored on"

that should do it Dante

 

[Dante_1901]

Exactly, thanks man ... damn, I need to practice my english more often

P.D. Everytime I watch the missed penalty, Dominguez blew it big time ... so far he is doing a crappy match.

 

[El Diablo Rojo]

HT, Paraguay wins 1-0.

Sorta the poorest match of the cup so far, hopefully it'll be better in the second half, maybe Paraguay should bring in Dos Santos.

thank you so much!

what a boring game...

 

[KingPaulV]

i knew it Paraguay always plays those gritty deadlocked matches not very pretty to look at...watch them win, the game 1-0

 

[MaSsiVe]

what a boring game...

you're out of luck man, all the matches previous to this one were a joy to watch...maybe the second half brings us something to cheer for.
